Across
- 5. This stream is one of the strongest surface currents on earth
- 6. when upwelling is reduced the what of the ocean life is also reduced
- 9. water becomes denser and sinks when it
- 10. These currents are affected by three factors: continental deflections, the Coriolis effect, and global winds
- 12. This current contains stream like movements of water
- 15. warm water is replaced by cold nutrient water in a process called
- 17. deflection of moving objects from a straight path due to earths rotation
- 18. what percent of water is drinkable
Down
- 1. movements of water far below the surface
- 2. movement of water that results from density differences
- 3. the amount of matter in a given space or volume
- 4. These currents occur near the surface of the ocean
- 7. what water is less dense, hot water or cold
- 8. these currents can be vertical, circular, or cyclical
- 10. measure of dissolved salts or solids in a liquid
- 11. cold water absorbs what from the sun, that makes the cycle continue
- 13. what about the earths rotation causes the coriolis effect
- 14. What causes wind
- 16. what do convection currents transfer
